send-pr.  Use category "toolchain".  If your send-pr doesn't know about
category "toolchain", it'll ask you if you want to send anyway; say "y".

Alternatively, post to tech-toolchain@netbsd.org if you have an extensive
bit of problems that need fleshing out.

Try the following added to src/tools/compat/compat_defs.h:

#ifndef MAP_FAILED
#define MAP_FAILED ((void *)-1)
#endif

This generalizes it on the condition that counts -- missing MAP_FAILED.  If
this works, let me know, and I'll toss it into compat_defs.h.

Other things that are not cpp definitions can be put into the autoconf logic
in src/tools/compat.  If you're not sure how to do it right, simply note
what's missing in a PR or tech-toolchain post and one of the toolchain folks
(probably me :) will help you out.
